snEco dried cheese — crispy cheese made from 100% natural cheese
One ingredient — cheese. No oil, frying, flour or preservatives. The cheese is dried in a vacuum at 36–38 °C using our own patented technology, and it becomes crunchy like crisps, but with the protein of cheese: 31–60 g per 100 g. Keeps without a fridge. 9 flavours, 4 formats, DPD delivery to your country.
What dried cheese is and how it differs from “cheese snacks”
snEco dried cheese is ordinary hard cheese (Gouda, Cheddar, mozzarella, Sulguni, Emmental) with the water removed. In a vacuum, water boils at a low temperature, so the cheese isn’t fried and isn’t heated above 36–38 °C: the protein, calcium and the cheese’s own flavour stay, while each piece “puffs up” from the inside and becomes porous and crunchy. That is how you get cheese bites and sticks that don’t melt, don’t go soft in your hands and don’t need a knife.
It is fundamentally different from most “cheese snacks” on the shelf. Corn puffs or crisps “with cheese flavour” are starch, oil and flavouring. Cheese braids and smoked sticks are a moist product that lasts only a few weeks in the fridge. snEco dried cheese consists of cheese alone, keeps on an ordinary shelf for 18 months (14 and 28 g packs) and provides 12–17 g of protein per 28 g pack.

How much protein and how many calories are in dried cheese
Since the water has been removed from the cheese, all nutrients are concentrated. About 70 g of cheese goes into 28 g of snack, so a pack contains as much protein as two eggs: from 12 g in Cheddar to 17 g in SUPERFOOD. Carbohydrates are 1–4 g per 100 g, i.e. less than half a gram per pack: an honest keto and low-carb snack. Energy value is 480–690 kcal per 100 g, or 135–195 kcal per 28 g pack — comparable to a handful of nuts or a protein bar. Detailed figures are on every product page and in the articles about protein in dried cheese and keto snacks.

how to store dried cheese
An unopened pack doesn’t need a fridge: store it in a dry place at room temperature. 14 and 28 g packs keep for 18 months, nut mixes and 500 g packs for 8 months, olives for 12. Once opened, the cheese draws moisture from the air, so an open pack is best eaten within a day or two or transferred to an airtight container. More details in the article how to store dried cheese.
